I have a couple of (i hope) minor injuries.
- Left chest/bicep insertion - appears to be tendonitis. Hurts like fuck when I bench in any way.
- Right shoulder - pulled it doing low bar deadlifts, might be rotator cuff. Have lost a lot of mobility/flexibility in my shoulder.
Have been to a physio and he was fucking shit. I have never had a good physio experience so am reluctant to try anywhere else.
I am considering a few options:
1) Have a week off training completely. Resume training next week, but don't back squat or bench for a few more weeks. Continue to train deadlift hard and train front squat instead of back squats.
2) As above, but without the week off. Just stop training bench and squat.
3) Have 2-3 weeks off completely (least preferred option obviously).
Thoughts?
I've been going from strength to strength lately and really don't want to lose this momentum, although I think it is fairly certain that I will at least have to stop benching for a little while (that said, I did break PBs last week despite the injury...). My bench is probably my strongest lift tho, so I guess it doesn't really matter if i give it a bit of a breather...
